Hi there,
I am trying to use *madwifi Release 0.9.4* for *MIPS EL 32-bit* platform
using *mipsel-linux-gcc* (GCC) 4.1.2 (ebs 20070215).I was able to
successfully compile the driver. Also install them on my board. The modules
I installed are :-
$ *lsmod*
Module Size Used by
ath_pci 112640 0
ath_rate_sample 15488 0

*dmesg* says :-

After this I tried the following steps which i found on MadWifi 'First Time
User' HOWTO (http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo):-
$ *wlanconfig ath0 destroy*
$ *wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta*
$ *iwconfig*
